With her best friend's mind in danger and with the lives of everyone she knows and loves being threatened, Diana will make a decision that affects everything she is and costs her everything she loves.

Diana's role as the premiere champion of Athena is strengthened in this finale to a stunning series. This story has it all, drama, sacrifice and feats of phenomenal power. You will see Diana take the full force of an enraged psychotic Superman... being hurled from Earth to Venus in a split moment, making craters and still holding back. Diana, the erstwhile Alpha Two, the second most powerful being on the planet is shown as a human. Who makes a horrific yet stregic decision to save her friend's life.

That decision cascades out of control. Costs her so much and especially as the story culminates in a war on her home front. The reader will see Diana is what she is and does what she says... but shed a tear for the things she needs to do to win thereby demonstrating her humanity in the face of odds that challenge her to hold back, just barely.

Rucka gives us an engrossing heart felt story of courage, heroism and power with top notch coloring pacing and drama. Kudos!

When Wonder Woman kills Max Lord for killing several Justice League members as well as controllling Superman; a rogue fighting force is unleashed against the Amazons and her. Standing alone against Brother Eye( a computer program created by Batman to keep watch over the Justice League that went rogue) and OMAC ( a group of hidden soldiers that have now targeted any and all superheroes not following the way of truth and justice) are the women warriors. This is just one of the events that began the whole Infinte Crisis storyline. Another is the death of Sue Didby, the wife of the Elongated Man. Paradise is nearly destroyed but the faith in superheroes is renewed in the end of this book.

The story had heart and was just lovely to read. The graphics were also eye catching and it's a classic to own for any Wonder Woman fan.

This story is one of the best ever made by reg Rucka for WW. There's action and intrigue, but to understand better where these mechanic begins come from, or why Themyscira is under siege, you have to buy "Project Omac". The art is really good, the design of the suit for WW at the Hague is elegant and shows good taste. What I didn't understood is why Cheetah appears and what's her goal. Anothe thing I didn't understood is why we see technology in Themyscira when it's forbidden, or, why the gods of the Olympus dress like that and wear things you find on Earth. I recommend this story if you want a lot of action and a good job.

Probably the 2nd most heart-wrenching WW paperback I've ever read (1st being Paradise Found with the scene of Hippolyta's death). Very realistic emotions flowed through this issue, very sad for the most part, but this *is* WW, so of course Rucka's run ends on a high note of hope!
